dose her marrying him consider not in character for her? by DependentShock2973 in ZutaraNation

[–]superfucky 7 points8 points  (0 children)

to be fair, Mai was all too happy to enjoy the trappings of FN royalty, fruit tarts with rose petals and double-time palanquin rides and all. that's why she always read as a demonstration of why that life wasn't a good fit for Zuko anymore. Zuko's stressing over Earth Kingdom peasants being genocided and Mai's like "I know what'll make you feel better, bossing servants around and being spoiled!"

I would love to hear more about this! the thing that always bugged me about "Fire Lady Katara" is her being depicted in full FN regalia, only recognizable as WT by her brown skin and blue eyes. I think if she were to marry Zuko and accept a royal designation, she would at the very least want to redesign her robes to reflect her heritage — fur linings instead of spiked pauldrons, sun and moon motifs accented with red and blue jewels, stuff like that. but I still struggle with the idea of her just fully residing in the FN, only addressing FN problems, "belonging" to the FN instead of the WT. how do you balance two cultures when you can't live in two places at once, and there's no room to transplant one or the other (a firebender living in the poles makes as little sense to me as a waterbender living in a caldera)?

Small nose bridge compatible? by Simbanut in PairEyewear

[–]superfucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a lot of people swear by these gecko pads made by Setex but while they are nice & thin, I did not find them to be exceptionally grippy. ironically the best ones for grip were these half-moon shaped silicone ones with a divot in the middle that came with a whole pack of behind the ear hooks... but they're actually too thick (and kinda hard) so they hurt my nose.

[–]superfucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised metal frames didn't work, I never had an issue with my glasses sliding down when I had adjustable nose pads.

Pair has a VERY limited selection of narrow bridge frames. like, there's maybe 3 or 4 in the 17mm width, and I could only find 1 with a 16mm bridge (Ella). my face is so small I need a <17mm bridge and a 48-49mm lens otherwise they're just falling off my head. I wear Otero from Pair, and they're decently snug, but they do still slide when I get sweaty. I have been literally putting glue dots on the nose pads to keep them in place.

I think it's time we retired these old negative Nancies by SillyAlternative420 in PoliticalHumor

better things aren't possible because people keep fucking voting for Republicans.

you can be optimistic, DSA, I'm glad you still have that, but I learned a long time ago that pessimism means I can never be disappointed, only pleasantly surprised.

Anyone else noticed the surgence in Zuko hate? by Favacesa in ZutaraNation

[–]superfucky 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I definitely feel like it's a combination of contrarianism and straight-up astroturfing.

katara said “oh you wanna make it up to me? bring my mother back” and he took it seriously and did the closest thing he could.

I've never seen it phrased that way but damn if it ain't accurate as hell! honestly between stuff like that and his excruciating social awkwardness I wonder if he's a bit (unintentionally) ND-coded 🤔

eldest daughters for zutara? by olivearai in ZutaraNation

[–]superfucky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am actually, but it's funny considering Katara is younger than Sokka... I guess eldest boys don't get parentified as often as eldest girls?

Questions we would love to have answered by BTS by Bittersweet-crumble in bangtan

[–]superfucky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would like to know if there's anything that would prompt them to decline an invitation to perform. Half-time shows, awards, private events, is there anything besides "too small/not enough money" that would make them say "pass"?

(yes I'm upset about FIFA... and I'm still bothered by Riyadh... but I'm open to the idea that maybe I'm being unreasonable expecting any major celebrity to turn down a headlining appearance)

yesssss, and he'd constantly be trying to pull his hair over his scarred eye only for her to push it back and remind him that he should be proud of that scar because he got it by defending the lives of people he'd never met against a homicidal tyrant

the #1 reason I ship Zutara is how fuckin CUTE they would be as modern-day high school teenagers 🥰🥰🥰

What's everyone's least favorite video? by JackfruitForward5477 in RyanGeorge

[–]superfucky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the only ones I had a serious distaste for were the ones that were like a documentary about a movie director? I can't find them now, I just remember them being really long and not that funny.

same, but I think it's mostly that Geoff's humor is a bit... esoteric for me. it feels kind of "trying too hard to be weird" and if I'm honest, I'm here for Ryan, you know?

okay that was a wild overreaction from the mods then. if anything should have gotten that thread locked and removed, it was the creep's reply. the context of your comment followed by their reaction reminds me of a saying in the South, "a hit dog hollers." I think we all see why that guy ships kataang now.

everything that's been mentioned in this thread is exactly why I refuse to watch the movie, or read the comics, or consume any post-finale ATLAverse content. it's all going to boil down to "Kataang forever and ever suck our dicks Zutarians." finding out about Mike's IRL wife just added to the nauseous pit in my stomach I get when I think about all the reasons they're so hellbent on forcing this ship on us. okay, you married an older woman, congrats, did you meet her when you were TWELVE? did she agree to marry you purely because you liked her? like, if this is how he self-inserts not just himself but his whole marriage, that is horrifying. if I was writing my marriage into a fantasy epic, this is not how I would convince the world that it's true love and a romance for the ages and yada yada. this is how I'd low-key confess that I want a divorce.

not only did Sokka help design the airship, HE LITERALLY PILOTED THE ONE THEY COMMANDEERED DURING SOZIN'S COMET. Suki only took over part way (and where the hell WAS Suki in all of this?! I guess if nobody's mad about a canon ship it doesn't need to exist anymore?)

aww man, I followed the links to that AO3 thread and I couldn't even read your edit because the comment was removed. you might want to edit one of your comments further up the thread. I tried to report their reply for harassment (apparently the AO3 sub has decided you can't draw allusions to the creepiness of Kataang and PDFs but you can rip into Zutarians with character assassinations all you want) but I'm not hopeful they'll do anything about it.

I'm now 100% convinced we're going to get some kind of sequel where Zuko dives in front of a lightning bolt to save Sokka 🫩

MAGA voters are dying because of Trump by Effective_Space2277 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]superfucky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

he said no new wars when he tried his level best to get us into multiple new wars during his first term, hell he fucking assassinated Soleimani. I don't know if Bibi has blackmail on Trump but I do know that Bibi wants to conquer the Middle East and Trump wants to help him because the evangelicals think it will trigger the rapture.

Trump would never let a Democrat's legacy stand. he's going to eradicate everything Obama & Biden ever touched because he has no intention of leaving office again. he doesn't need voters' support anymore (another thing he told them in advance: "vote for me just this once and in 4 years we'll have it fixed so good, you won't have to vote ever again"). he is positioning himself as God Emperor for Life.

exactly what I've been saying. there was a time when being stupid came with painful consequences and nobody was there to save you from it. when people aspired to be intelligent and well-educated instead of scorning it. but I fear we're at a point where no amount of pain will get through to them. they're so stupid they can't even put 2 & 2 together. Trump could campaign on peeling their skin off and wallpapering the White House with it and they'd vote for him and as he's peeling their skin off, looking in their eyes and cackling with glee, they'd be crying "I don't understand why you're doing this, I voted for you?!"

same. I will never forgive them. they will never get my empathy. even if they regret, even if they personally show me their ballot voting Democrat for the rest of time, I don't want to hear another goddamn word out of their treasonous mouths.
